Unless you meet certain criteria, you cannot unlock equity via a HELOC.Put simply, there is much more flexibilty in the US REI market, and for now, that is where my investment dollars will be headed.I am loving the rehab!

You further let them know who your buyer's agent is and pass out their business cards.After you get a good reputation, you simply pick up the phone and make calls to all of these seller's agents when you are in buying mode.They love it!

The reason I went for weight training is simply because he mentioned it, and seemed to be heading in that direction.

My day job is as an IT auditor for banks and I don't honestly believe that a bank would be involved with any investment that has that level or returns... simply put... its just to risky, and banks are some of the most risk adverse businesses out there...In addition if you google this term it does not return any usable results, which does not necessarily mean anything but I would expect if this were something that was legitimate than someone would have posted something at some point about it....Be weary... very weary...

That's what a forum is about and so far you are being very elusive.I understand your 50% rule of thumb completely, I just do not think it is accurate for all investments and I make a personal choice to use other calculations.I have said on numerous occassions that the 50% rule is simply a way of stating that the operating expenses in the United States for residential rentals run (average) 45% to 50% per year over time.
